Perhaps, but the tutorial will probably not contain the information I need.
The reason being is if I do commands like getfacl /cygdrive/e using a cygwin
distribution from 1 year ago I get different results than I do getfacl
/cygdrive/e on a current distribution.  Also, chown and chmod and mkdir seem
to have different effects today than they did a year ago on the ACL
settings.  This leads me to conclude the interpretation of ACL's as used by
cygwin is different than what I would get in a vanilla Windows tutorial.  A
Windows tutorial would not list things like how cygwin commands are going to
interpret or map those settings.
